What I originally said was, I have an 03 Accord sedan. Is it possible to adjust the spray of the windshield washer? I don't know what happened but my driver's side is aimed too low. If adjustment is an easy thing I might try it myself rather than take it to the dealer. Thanks |

At leat with both my Honda's (older than yours) there is a a little ball in
there that sprays the fluid. And if you take a needle and gently put in in the hole you'll have the leverage to move the nozzle. The most important thing to keep in mind is that even the tiniest motion of the ball will result in a change of several inches in where the spray hits the windshield. It takes some practice to get it just right.

The newer ones seem to have a non-adjustable sprayer nozzle with at least two streams. Perhaps the upper one of the two has become blocked on the OP's car. A needle or brush bristle poked through the hole while spraying may cure the blockage. -- TeGGeR® |

If adjustment is an easy thing I might try it >myself rather than take it to the dealer. Run the washer pump to get the nozzle wet and then try brushing it with a toothbrush. Is it a jet type washer outlet or a "sprinkler" type? I'm not sure that the new sprinkler types have the ball and socket that others have mentioned. If you do try poking it, I suggest a safety pin rather than a needle - needles are brittle and the end can break off.
